Feeding bleach to baby was 'dumbest decision ... in my life'
The man who reportedly mixed bleach into his infant daughter's formula on Sunday morning said he was only trying to help her breathe easier with a home remedy he heard about from a friend.
Carron Washington, 20, spoke to about a dozen members of the media Monday afternoon in a hastily called news conference that was ended abruptly by a member of the Marion County Public Defender's Office.
"It's probably the dumbest decision I've made in my life," Washington said before the meeting ended.
Washington said his daughter, Cadlynn, had suffered from breathing problems since her birth on Dec. 14.
The girl was born with her esophagus detached from her stomach, which required surgery.
Washington said he would never intentionally hurt his daughter and only added less than a capful of bleach to about two ounces of her formula because a friend from school told him she used the remedy with her child.
Washington, who said he is a "pre-med" student at the College of Central Florida, said the friend was a classmate.
While old home remedies involving kerosene, whiskey and even urine are abundant, ingesting bleach is not common.
The girl's mother, Therese Roberts, was upset when Washington admitted he gave the girl bleach.
"The last time I talked to her was that night, before I got arrested... I told her I did it. She was emotional about it," said the soft-spoken Washington.
The baby was listed in stable condition at Shands at the University of Florida in Gainesville on Monday afternoon, according to Lt. Billy Woods of the Ocala Police Department.
Attempts Monday to reach Roberts or members of her family were not successful.
Washington and Roberts live in separate units at the Sutton Place Apartments in the 500 block of Northeast 23rd Circle. Washington was staying at Roberts' apartment to help care for their baby.
On Saturday night and Sunday morning, the baby was fussy. After waking up at 1 a.m. Sunday, Washington put the bleach in the bottle and fed the child some of the formula, according to OPD reports.
The child vomited some of the liquid and started to cry.
"I panicked. I immediately called 911, called my parents, called her parents and started crying," Washington said.
The child was rushed to Munroe Regional Medical Center and then to Shands.
Initially, Washington denied putting the bleach in the bottle, OPD reports state.
"I was scared of losing her. I didn't think of all the cons," he said. "It's probably the dumbest decision I've made in my life."
Just more than five minutes after Washington began talking to the media, an unidentified woman with the Public Defender's Office quickly announced the interview was over and hustled Washington out of the room.
Just before the interview was interrupted, Washington professed his love for his daughter and said he hoped he would be able to see her again soon.
"If I can love anyone as God love us, that's pretty much how much I love her," he said. "I'll do whatever I have to do to see her."
Washington is being held without bond at the Marion County Jail on a charge of domestic aggravated child abuse.

The Hall of Fame Veterans Committee
Membership: The old 15-member Veterans Committee has been replaced by a group comprised of the living members of the Baseball Hall of Fame (60), the living recipients of the J.G. Taylor Spink Award (12), the living recipients of the Ford C. Frick Award (13) and the current Veterans Committee members whose terms have not yet expired (3). This group of 90
increases the size of the existing committee six-fold.
Frequency of Elections: Beginning in 2003, the Veterans Committee will hold its election of players every other year. Also beginning in 2003, the election of managers, umpires and executives will occur every four years.
Eligible candidates: All players who played in at least 10 Major League seasons, including those from the 19th century, who are not on Major League Baseball's ineligible list, and who are not being considered by the BBWAA, are eligible for election by the new Veterans Committee. Managers,umpires and executives with 10 or more years in Baseball are eligible. A Hall of Fame-sponsored study of African-American Baseball, 1860-1960, is under way. The Board will appoint a committee to review the results when they are complete. After this review, a recommendation will be made to the Board concerning how to proceed with respect to Negro leagues candidates.
Screening Committee: Sixty BBWAA members -- two from each Major League city and four from cities with two teams -- will identify 25 candidates for the Players Ballot and 15 candidates for the Composite Ballot (managers, umpires and executives). In addition, the Hall of Fame Board of Directors will appoint an independent Screening Committee of six Hall of Fame members
to identify five candidates for the Players Ballot. The final ballot will contain 25-30 names, depending on duplicate results. In compiling its list of candidates, the Screening Committee shall call upon resources of organizations such as the Elias Sports Bureau, the official statistician of Major League Baseball since the 1920s, and the National Baseball Hall of Fame Library.
Voting: Voting will continue to be based upon the individual's record, ability, integrity, sportsmanship, character and contribution to the game of Baseball. All candidates receiving votes on at least 75 percent of ballots cast will earn election.
Schedule and Method of Voting: Veterans Committee members will receive ballots and supporting material -- prepared by the Hall of Fame -- in January prior to induction. The vote will be completed by mail and counted in the presence of Ernst & Young and a Hall of Fame representative. Results will be announced in February.

Hi everyone!
Eterniandreams and I have done a translation of the German audioplay "Anti-Eternia" over the last few weeks - and it is finally complete. If you have suggestions for better wording or would like us to help with illustrations (thanks JimPansen!), please post them! It would be very much appreciated.
Oh, and please do comment and post what you think about the story!
ANTI-ETERNIAtranslated by Eterniandreams and Irian
Scene 1
Narrator: Skeletor, Overlord of Evil, was at Snake Mountain. All traces of the last battle with He-Man and the other Masters of the Universe were gone. The evil demon was already looking for a new weapon to fight He-Man. And he hated He-Man so much he forgot any caution and risked to attempt the forbidden experiment, thereby courting the most horrible of all dangers to Eternia.
(C) by JimPansen 2011
Beast Man: Trap-Jaw, where's Skeletor?
Trap-Jaw: Skeletor, Beast Man? He's in the laboratory, right here. I fear he's trying to find Anti-Eternia
Beast Man: Anti-Eternia? Trap-Jaw, what's Anti-Eternia? And why do you fear it?
In the background Skeletor is laughing manically.
Trap-Jaw: Do you hear that? He's laughing! It's terrifying. He seems to be successful.
Beast Man: Terrifying? Trap-Jaw spit it out, what's Anti-Eternia?
Trap-Jaw: The counterworld, Beast Man.
Beast Man: The counterworld? Why counterworld, Trap-Jaw?
Trap-Jaw: There are two sides to everything, Beast Man: There's matter and antimatter, fire and water, day and night, heaven and hell. Eternia and Anti-Eternia.
Beast Man: Anti-Eternia I've never heard of it. Is it an evil world?
Trap-Jaw: Quite right. Anti-Eternia, Planet of Dread. With its help Skeletor wants to reach his goal to destroy the Masters of the Universe. (pause)
Here's the lab. Here's Skeletor! Go ahead.
Beast Man: Master? It is us, Trap-Jaw and me. Can we come in?
Skeletor: I've got it! *I've* got it! The forbidden experiment! I've succeeded! Come in you two! In my hand I have the weapon that will destroy He-Man. I - *I* will become Master of the Universe. Castle Grayskull will be mine!
Beast Man: Yes, Master, you are going to conquer Castle Grayskull.
Skeletor: (laughs) Yes, I, Skeletor, will be the most powerful man in the universe. No one can stop me now!
Beast Man: Forgive me, Master, but how do you want to win that fight?
Skeletor: How?! You fool! I just have to turn on this machine. Look, Beast-Man. I am turning it on. (pause) It's a world converter. It's working perfectly.
Trap-Jaw: A world converter, Skeletor? What does this world converter do?
Skeletor: What it does? It creates a connection between Eternia and Anti-Eternia. The most horrifying monstrosities, you have ever seen, will soon come over here and then (laughs) *then* the battle will begin - and it will end with my victory! (laughs maniacally)
Scene 2
Narrator: At the palace of Eternis nobody was suspecting anything about Skeletor's horrible plan. Teela, princess of Eternia and captain of the royal guard was preparing a big meet. The mightiest warriors of the planet Eternia were supposed to measure their strengths against each other in athletic competitions. Everyone seemed to be excited about it - everyone except Prince Adam. He didn't seem to take great interest in these festivities.
Teela: Adam, what's biting you? Don't you like the thought that soon Eternia's most powerful warriors will meet at the palace to determine who's the strongest?
Adam: Oh. Eh it's ok I guess.
Teela: (laughs) Be honest, Adam. You don't like it. You are jealous of He-Man, who is likely going to win.
Adam: Well, Teela, I cannot deny I would have preferred something like a poetry contest.
Teela: A poetry contest? Oh, Adam!
Adam: Or maybe you could invite the violinists of Tekran to give a concert.
Teela: The violinists of ..? (sighs) Nobody can stand the cacophony they create with their instruments!
Adam: That's what's bothering me. The beautiful sound of these violins should aaaarrg!
(C) by JimPansen 2011
Teela: Adam, Adam, what's wrong?! Why do you hold your head?
Adam: (groans in pain)
Teela: Adam, what's the matter?! What is wrong with your head?! Do you need a doctor? Wait, I am getting a doctor!
Adam: (groans) No No, everything's fine. Don't worry.
Teela: You need a doctor! You don't look well. You are sick.
Adam: No, no, everything all right. Don't bother.
Teela: Adam? Are you simulating? You are not jealous, are you? I mean Adam, don't run away!
Adam: (to himself) Oh, Teela, you have no idea! You don't know that I am both Adam and He-Man in one person. If I just could tell you! But it is too early for that. I still have to keep my secret.
Adam: But Eternia is in danger. The Sorceress has let me know. Suddenly I heard a whisper and I knew. Ah, there's Cringer!
Cringer: (purring) Prince Adam, what a wonderful day!
Adam: Don't act like a pussycat, Cringer! Eternia is in great danger! We have to go to Castle Grayskull!
Cringer: We?! No, please, Adam. Go alone. I'd like (yawns) I'd like to stretch out in the sun and Oh! No! Please, not the power sword! No, Adam! (one can hear the distinct sound of the power sword being unsheathed) No!
Adam: Come on, Cringer! We are transforming into He-Man and Battle Cat! Loafing is over now!
Cringer: No, Adam! Oh no! Please!
Music swells
Adam: By the power of Grayskull! I have the power!
Narrator: As Adam spoke these magic words, he transformed into He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe. And the ever-weary Cringer became Battle Cat, the mighty fighting tiger!
Battle Cat: Roaarrr!
He-Man: Come on, old tomcat! We have to go to Castle Grayskull! Skeletor seems to have hatched a new plan!
Battle Cat: Roaarrr! We will crush him! He will never defeat us! NEVER!
Scene 3.I
Narrator: As He-Man approached Castle Grayskull, suddenly Skeletor's evil henchmen Beast Man, Trap-Jaw and Tri-Klops attacked. They wanted to prevent He-Man from entering the castle.
Battle Cat: He-Man, look out! Roaarr!
He-Man: The Fighters of Evil!
Trap-Jaw: Die, He-Man!
(battle noise)
Beast Man: Trap-Jaw, shoot him! Use your machine gun!
Trap-Jaw: You bet, Beast Man! Gotcha, He-Man!
(machine gun fire)
Tri-Klops: That's not possible. The bullets glance off He-Man's sword.
Trap-Jaw: Try your ray gun, Tri-Klops! He cannot defend himself against all of it at the same time.
(machine gun fire and blaster sounds)
Tri-Klops: Yeah, you're right, Trap-Jaw!
He-Man: Get lost, you fools! Away!
(explosions, the battle noise stops)
Trap-Jaw: He has smashed my machine gun!
Tri-Klops: As well as my ray gun!
He-Man: Don't you have enough?!
Beast Man: Run! Run! We cannot stop him this way! Run!
Trap-Jaw: Yes! Retreat! Back to Snake Mountain, Tri-Klops!
He-Man: Those fools. Did they really think they could stop me from entering Castle Grayskull?
He-Man: I am going to open the gate with the power sword, you stay outside, Battle Cat.
Battle Cat: I'll stay here and I will drive off Skeletor's henchmen, should they come back! Roaarrr!
He-Man: OK, Battle Cat. I am opening the gate with my sword.
(the sound of the draw bridge opening)
Battle cat: Yes, it opens!
He-Man: The Sorceress is expecting me already.
Scene 3.II
Sorceress: Welcome, He-Man
He-Man: Sorceress of Castle Grayskull, what has happened? Is Eternia in danger?
Sorceress: It is, He-Man. Skeletor is close to getting his hands on the most dangerous weapon of all. He doesnt realize that he is playing with fire.
He-Man: What sort of weapon is it?
Sorceress: He has created a passage to Anti-Eternia, the horrifying reflection of Eternia.
He-Man: To Anti-Eternia? What is that? Why havent I ever heard of fit before?
Sorceress: Anti-Eternia is Hell and the creatures that inhabit this world are so gruesome and powerful that they will bring death and destruction upon us.
He-Man: I understand. And where is this Anti-Eternia?
Sorceress: It is in a different universe, the universe of darkness, but it is located in the same position as Eternia. Skeletor wants to create a gateway to this parallel world. Through this gateway the most monstrous creatures that Hell ever spawned will come over.
He-Man: That is heinous.
Sorceress: See these images. My magic scrying device shows me the way Anti-Eternia looks.
He-Man: Show me, Sorceress. I am curious to see who Skeleter is turning to, to defeat us.
Sorceress: Behold! (A cacophony of noises swells) This is Anti-Eternia!
Narrator: The Sorceress of Castle Grayskull showed He-Man a glimpse of Hell. Monsters of unimaginable strength and size were moving to a huge flickering opening. And He-man understood. This was the gateway to Eternia.
He-Man: By the Spirits of Grayskull, that is unbelievable! But why does he have Beast Man, Trap-Jaw and Tri-Klops fighting me, when he could attack me with those creatures?
Sorceress: He didnt accomplish it yet. The creatures still cant pass to Eternia.
He-Man: So he wanted to gain time.
Sorceress: Yes, he did. Skeletor needs time for his plan, but not much anymore. He is nearly there. Do you see the black figure there, the one with the red hair?
He-Man: Yes. What kind of man is he? He is fighting a dragon.
Sorceress: It is Anti-He-Man, the most powerful warrior of the counterworld! Nobody has defeated him until now. And I fear he is undefeatable.
He-Man: And that in the background, what is that? A radiant white castle, the gate resembles the face of an angel.
Sorceress: Anti-Grayskull, He-Man. That is the Castle of Darkness. And Anti-He-Man is its lord. He has the dark power. He is the Master of the Universe of Darkness.
He-Man: And Skeletor, this maniac, wants to bring him to our universe? That could be the end of all of us. I must stop it! That cant happen!
Scene 4
Narrator: Deeply concerned He-Man left Castle Grayskull. He didn't know how he could confront the enormous danger that threatened Eternia. He was only inspired by one thought; the forces of darkness couldn't be allowed to expand their influence into this universe.
Battle Cat: He-Man, black clouds are gathering. What is going on?
(bells jingle)
He-Man: Orko, where are you coming from?
Orko: From the palace. The king and Teela are worried. It's getting gloomy everywhere. Everyone is uneasy. What is going on, He-Man?
He-Man: That's Skeletor's doing, Orko! He's got a sinister plan.
(rumbling in the background)
Orko: What was that? Did you hear that? It sounded like an earthquake.
He-Man: Yes, I heard it, too, Orko. But I do not know what it means.
Battle Cat: Roaarrr! He-Man, I feel it, something's approaching. It has to be huge.
Orko: I fear that too! This noise, it was spooky.
(rumbling again)
Battle Cat: There it is, again!
Orko: It's a bull! A gigantic bull! It's coming!
He-Man: Run, Battle Cat! Be careful it doesn't trample you down!
Orko: Those eyes! They are spraying fire. Skeletor must have sent the bull. Yes, yes, it could have been only him.
He-Man: And now, we are sending it back where it came from. Skeletor, beware! By the power of Grayskull, I have the power!
(the bull pants with rage)
Orko: He-Man, watch out!
Battle Cat: That was close.
Orko: It almost gored you, He-Man.
Battle Cat: Look out! It's coming back.
Orko: Oh oh, I have to do something. I have to use my magic. But how? What can I do? Oh, a rag! He-Man needs a red rag for his fight with the bull!
(battle noises)
Battle Cat: He-Man, it's too powerful for you! It's too big and strong. Flee into the castle or it is going to kill you!
Orko: I'll see to that, Battle Cat. I, Orko, the great magician! Oh, Orko from the magic land, come lend me your saving hand: In this fight of fear and dread, He-Man needs a rag in red!
(bells jingle)
He-Man: Orko, what's that?
Orko: A ... a rag, like all the bullfighters have.
He-Man: A red rag for a bullfighter, Orko? That's only a cleaning rag. It's too small.
Orko: Too small? Oh, I am so sorry. But at least it's a red rag, isn't it?
Battle Cat: Watch out, He-Man! The bull is coming!
Orko: The the bull stops running. He stays in front of He-Man. Careful! It's getting dangerous!
Battle Cat: Roaarrr! I'm helping you, He-Man!
Orko: Me too! I am helping too! But what should I do?
Orko: Oh oh, He-Man! That was close!
He-Man: Ram Man, you have to get Ram Man, Orko! My sword bounces off of the bull's head. I need help! Hurry!
Orko: Ram-Man?! But I don't know how! Oh, Ram Man from the magic land No, no! I mean: Orko from the magic sands Oh heavens, what am I doing here!?
Battle Cat: There he is: Ram Man! He's found us!
Orko: Yes! This way! Ram Man, this way! Quick! You have to ram the bull! His skull is too tough!
(flying noises)
Ram Man: Step aside, He-Man! Step aside!
He-Man: The bull, ram it!
(a thud)
Orko: Ram Man has rammed the bull!
Battle Cat: It's working. Look! Look how shaky the bull is on its feet!
(the bull pants)
He-Man: One more time, Ram-Man!
Orko: The bull is lifting its head. Now!
(flying noises, a thud)
He-Man: That has been too much for the bull.
Orko: You've done it, Ram Man! The bull is running away. It has to take care of its headache! (giggles)
He-Man: (laughs shortly) Thank you, Ram Man. I would have been doomed without you. The power sword couldn't do much against the bull.
Orko: What a monstrosity! Do you really think Skeletor has sent the bull?
He-Man: I am convinced. Skeletor is closing in for the final blow!
Ram Man: Yes, I think you are right. You feel something menacing is coming!
He-Man: Skeletor has found a new weapon. And he will use it!
Orko: What do we do now, He-Man?
He-Man: We have to return to Eternis, to the palace. We have to mobilize all forces. Skeletor cannot win this battle or we are all doomed!
Scene 5
Narrator: He-Man, Orko, Ram-Man and Battle Cat returned to the Royal Palace of Eternis. Here too, people had noticed the signs of approaching danger. Concerns and fear were spreading amongst them. The residents of the city looked up to the sky. Never before had they seen such black clouds.
(Sounds of a nervous crowd)
Citizen of Eternis: The sky. It is becoming so dark.
Citizen of Eternis: Turn on the lights!
Citizen of Eternis: This must be the work of Skeletor.
Citizen of Eternis: I am afraid. He-Man! Where is He-Man?
Citizen of Eternis: He must help us.
Citizen of Eternis: Yes
Ram-Man: The people are afraid, He-Man. They suspect that Skeletor will attack. And they dont know how to defend themselves.
Orko: These black clouds cant be fought with a sword.
Ram-Man: He-Man, look!
He-Man: What is it, Ram-Man? What do you see?
Ram-Man: The cloud up there, it looks like the grimace of a monster.
Citizen of Eternis: Eternia will fall.
Citizen of Eternis: Skeletor will be victorious!
Citizen of Eternis: Pray, people! Pray!
Scene 6
Narrator: While He-man and his friends in Eternis were staring spellbound at the black clouds gathering above the city, Skeletor was gloating at Snake Mountain. He was closer to reaching his goal than ever before. Victory over He-man was almost within his grasp.
Narrator: In his mysterious laboratory he was making the final preparations for the large-scale strike.
(Machine sounds)
Skeletor: (laughing) Just wait, heroes of Eternis. Your last hour has come. Now I will be the Master of the Universe (laughs)
Trap-Jaw: And you dont expect He-man to find a defense weapon, Skeletor?
Skeletor: Dont talk like a fool, Trap-Jaw. He-Man should find a weapon against ME? (laughs) Warriors will come straight out of Hell, the likes of which this world has never seen before. What can He-man do against them, Trap-Jaw? NOTHING!
Trap-Jaw: My lord, the Anti-World Accelerator is at full power. 100!
Skeletor: It's functioning. It's working, Trap-Jaw! Switch to Black-Field Modulator!
Trap-Jaw: Modulator activated, Skeletor!
Skeletor: (laughs) Now we have them, these creatures of Hell, they are coming! Eternia, your time has come!
Trap-Jaw: Skeletor, the death-funnel!
Skeletor: What about it, Trap-Jaw?
Trap-Jaw: Just look! Black clouds are rising from it.
Skeletor: Excellent. Most excellent. It is the signal of the creatures from Hell. They are ready to come.
Trap-Jaw: You really want to bring them here, my lord?
Skeletor: Yes, why not?
Trap-Jaw: Are you sure they will leave again when you rule over Eternia? Will they obey you?
Skeletor: They wouldnt dare to turn against me. I am the Overlord of Evil. No-one is greater than me! They must obey me! They must! Do you understand, Trap-Jaw?
Trap-Jaw: Yes, my lord. I understand.
Skeletor: Activate! Open the gate for our friends from Anti-Eternia! Open the Gates of Hell, Trap-Jaw!
Trap-Jaw: Yes, I am opening the gate.
(The machine noises get louder, thunder roars)
Scene 7
Narrator: Skeletor had dared to do the Unspeakable. He had opened a gateway for the creatures from Anti-Eternia to come to Eternia. Now monsters of darkness were approaching and in the city of Eternis a panic broke out.
(Nervous voices in the background)
Teela: He-Man, this way! He-Man!
He-Man: Teela, muster your guards! We have to defend the city.
Teela: But what can we do, He-Man? What is it that is coming on us?
Orko: It's black and scary. Boohoo, I am frightened.
He-Man: Orko, most-powerful of all Trollan wizards, can't you see what that is?
Orko: No, I don't know.
He-Man: Skeletor must have brought it here from Anti-Eternia. Yes, that's what it is: Skeletor's creatures of hell!
Teela: There! It's attacking the crowd!
Orko: It's like black fog.
He-Man: It shall feel the power sword!
He-Man: Battle Cat? Come on, old tomcat! Carry me to the fog!
Battle Cat: Roarrr! I'll rip that thing into pieces with my teeth! My claws will tear it to shreds! Charge! But we cannot win alone.
He-Man: Stay calm, old tomcat, we attack!
(battle sounds)
Orko: Man-At-Arms! Ram Man! Man-E-Faces! He-Man needs help!
He-Man: The sword meets resistance! The black fog feels it.
Orko: Oh, Orko from the magic land, come lend me your helping hand: The dark cloud cannot stay, the winds blow it away!
Ram Man: Your short shirt is not bringing up enough wind, Orko!
Orko: Ram Man, how can you say something like this! Do you want to offend me? My shirt is long enough, it's the the
Ram Man: I am ramming the cloud! Look! Something is in there, I can feel it!
He-Man: Keep going! Keep going! The cloud reacts.
Teela: Royal Guard! Attack! He-Man needs help! Drive back that black thing! Fire! Fire!
Narrator: He-Man struck the scary black cloud with the power sword. Ram Man rammed it. Man-At-Arms attacked it with a laser cannon. And Man-E-Faces also used an energy weapon. Teela and the Royal Guard sent arrows into the black thing. And Orko was casting spell after spell but didn't receive many praise for his efforts.
Orko: Oh, Orko from the magic land, come lend me your helping hand: You darkest spawn of hell, take flight before my spell!
Guard: That thing is retreating!
Guard: It fears the power sword!
Guard: No, the arrows drive it away.
Guard: No, not the arrows, the laser blasts.
Orko: Rubbish! I have defeated the cloud! All by myself. I, the greatest magician of all time!
He-Man: (breathing heavily) We have driven it away!
Teela: (also breathing heavily) I am afraid it will come back, He-Man!
Orko: Oh, don't worry about it. If it appears again I will shoo it away with a powerful spell.
He-Man: (still breating heavily) That won't be enough, Orko! We cannot wait for the next attack!
Teela: What's your plan, He-Man?
He-Man: Wait, there are Man-At-Arms, Ram Man und Man-E-Faces. Thank you all, you have fought well!
Orko: And nobody talks about me? In that case I'm leaving. You'll see me again when you know how to appreciate my victories.
(bells jingle)
He-Man: (amused, ironic) Oh, now Orko's upset. Even though he has won all by himself, hasn't he?
Teela: (laughs) If we go by his big mouth, then yes!
Man-E-Faces: He seems to go especially strong today (laughs) as far as exaggerating is concerned.
(Everyone laughs)
Scene 8
Narrator: Skeletor's first strike was parried with toil and hardship. But He-man and his friends knew the real danger was still eminent. Skeletor could strike again anytime and no one could foretell what would happen then. He-man decided to take the Wind Raider together with Man-At-Arms for a reconnaissance flight.
(flying sounds)
Man-At-Arms: He-Man, look over there. Isnt that a Wind Raider too?
He-Man: Yes, you are right, it seems it came from Snake Mountain.
Man-At-Arms: A black machine.
(shot of a laser-gun)
He-Man: Damn it! It is shooting at us.
Man-At-Arms: By all the spirits! Did you see who was in the aircraft?
He-Man: I think so, yes. He looked just like you, Man-at-Arms, but he was all black.
Man-At-Arms: But thats not possible.
He-Man: He is doing a loop. Man-at-Arms, he is attacking us!
Man-at-Arms: Watch out! (shot of a laser-gun) Shoot, He-man, shoot!
(shot of a laser-gun. Explosion)
He-Man: He struck us!
Man-at-Arms: Look, his machine caught fire! He has to land.
He-Man: Us too, Man-at-Arms. We are going down, watch out, hold on! Get ready for the crash!
(loud rumbling)
Man-at-Arms: Theres no way back!
(the noises fall silent)
He-Man: Were on the ground. Are you okay?
Man-At-Arms: Yes, I am okay He-Man. I only have a scratch on my arm, thats it.
He-Man: The other one has suffered the same fate as us.
Man-At-Arms: Why does he look like me? Who is he?
He-Man: He is your counterpart from the anti-world. A weapon master just like you, but none I would trust. He belongs to Skeletor's forces.
Man-At-Arms: The danger is getting more and more eminent. We should act fast, He-Man. Or it will be too late.
(bells jingle)
He-Man: Orko! Your timing is perfect!
Orko: (his voice is more mature) What would you do without me, He-Man! You cant even fly! You are a real idiot!
He-Man: Orko, youre out of line! Ill admit I didn't recognize how bravely you fought against the black monster, but
Orko: (his voice is more mature) But nothing! I dont want to hear it!
He-Man: But Orko, is that how you talk to your friend?
Orko: (with mature voice) Oh, Orko from the wizards' land, come lend me your saving hand: To you standing there I tell, I'll open up the mouth to Hell.
(bells jingle, a loud rumble)
He-Man: Orko, what are you talking about, did you lose your mind?
Man-At-Arms: Orko! You almost killed us. If you were a better magician, you would have put us in real danger.
(bells jingle)
He-Man: Whats this? Another Trollan?
Orko (with normal childish voice): You dont recognize me? I am Orko, your Orko! He is an impostor, a Doppelganger! He is Skeletor's henchman. Watch yourselves, he wants to cast a spell on you!
Anti-Orko: Oh, Orko from the wizards' land, come lend me your saving hand: Come out ghosts I yell, burn them with the winds of Hell!
(bells jingle, roaring winds)
Orko: Ridiculous! I am the better wizard, watch me: Oh, Orko from the magic land, come lend me your helping hand: From this spot I claim, return from where you came!
(bells jingle, roaring winds)
Anti-Orko: You are a fool! You cant defeat me, not me! I am a thousand times stronger than you! Oh, Orko from the wizards' land, come lend me your saving hand: Skeletor's black night
He-Man: Stop this now, you devils spawn! Leave, or I will take your hood away.
Anti-Orko (deeply affected): You you would do that?!
Orko: For sure he will do it. And if he doesnt, I will! Oh, Orko from the magic land
(bells jingle)
Man-At-Arms: He is gone, Orko! Your Doppelganger has fled.
Orko: Fled, Man-At-Arms? No, my magic has frightened him away. He is gone because I, Orko, am the greatest magician.
He-Man: Yes, he is gone Orko! And now you must help us! Quick, teleport to the Royal Palace. We need a new vehicle or Skeletor will catch us here outside.
Orko: Skeletor? I almost forgot! I wanted to warn you, Skeletor is on his way here. I saw it! By the spirits of Grayskull! There he is!
He-Man: Trap-Jaw and Beast-Man are with him!
Man-At-Arms: So what? They will get the shock of their lives.
He-Man: We will punish Skeletor for what he did. He will pay for releasing the beasts of Hell.
(The sound of the power sword leaving its sheath)
He-Man: By the power of Grayskull, I have the power!
Beast Man: See! Kill He-Man and Man-at Arms!
Skeletor: No, No, you fool! Dont Beast Man, fall back! Dont fight!
Beast Man: You dont want to fight, Skeletor?
Skeletor: Idiot! Of course not!
He-Man: Wait Man-at-Arms, something is wrong!
Man-At-Arms: Be careful, He-Man. We cant trust Skeletor. No one is as wicked and evil as him!
He-Man: Skeletor, how is it possible that a coward like you is showing himself in plain sight? I am used to you trying to ambush me. This is a first.
Skeletor: You are right to mock me, He-man.
He-Man: You really are singing a different tune! What is wrong with you, Skeletor? Are you sick?
Skeletor: Yes, I must have been sick, sick in the head.
He-Man: (laughs) That is something I have thought before.
Skeletor: He-Man, you must help me! You must!
He-Man: What? I should help you? Me of all people?
Man-At-Arms: What has happened, Skeletor?
Skeletor: Man-At-Arms, if you want to save Eternia, you should help me! I plea to you, stand by me. And you too, He-man! You must help!
Orko: He has gone nuts, yahoo! Skeletor has gone nuts!
Skeletor: There is no reason to be cheerful, Orko! Eternia is in horrible danger!
He-Man: Of which only you are to blame.
Skeletor: Yes, wes, I will admit to that, He-man. I was blinded by my hate for you.
He-Man: Ah, I understand. You brought the creatures of Anti-Eternia here
Skeletor: Yes, yes, I did it.
Beast Man: He did. Yes. Thats what he did.
Skeletor: Shut up, Beast Man! A half-wit like you should never talk.
He-Man: these creatures of Hell came here, but now they dont obey you. They are more powerful than you!
Skeletor: Yes, He-Man, its true. They cast me out of Snake Mountain. Anti-He-Man has taken control.
He-Man: And you want me to fight Anti-He-Man together with you?
Skeletor: That is the only option that remains. If you dont, He-man, all is lost. You must distract him while I destroy the machines that I used to get these horrible creatures here.
Man-At-Arms: He-Man, that is madness! You cant fight side by side with Skeletor, only against him!
Skeletor: No, no, we must stop the animosity between us.
He-Man: At least until these creatures from Anti-Eternia are sent back to of which they came.
Skeletor: So it is, He-Man. So it is precisely. Only if we stand together, we can save Eternia.
Man-At-Arms: He-Man, this is madness!
He-Man: Perhaps, Man-At-Arms. But it is our only chance. Orko, teleport to Eternis. All heroes should come to Snake Mountain.
Skeletor: Yes, Yes, Orko, hurry! We must destroy the machines that I used to create the gateway to the parallel world. Only so we can expel the monsters of hell.
Scene 9
Narrator: While Orko returned to the royal palace of Eternis, He-Man and Man-At-Arms with their former mortal enemy Skeletor at their side rushed to get to Snake Mountain. It lay hidden behind a thick black fog. Eerie shapes moved nearby.
He-Man: (whispering) Quiet, Skeletor, quiet! They haven't noticed us yet!
Skeletor: (whispering) They are everywhere. Sinister dangerous creatures.
Man-At-Arms: (whispering) He-Man, we should turn back. It's a trap.
Skeletor: (whispering) No, Man-At-Arms, it is not a trap. I swear by my honor.
Man-At-Arms: Skeletor never had anything like honor!
(bells jingle)
He-Man: Orko, you have returned.
Orko: Quickly and reliably. As promised.
He-Man: Where are Ram-Man, Teela and the others?
Orko: They will come with Wind Raiders. They are going to attack the east side of Snake Mountain, to divert attention from us. Listen! (flying noises) There they are!
(blaster shots, explosions)
Man-At-Arms: They are firing!
Skeletor: This way!
Anti-He-Man: He-Man! He-Man! Take up the challenge and fight me!
Skeletor: By all terrors of hell. That's Anti-he-Man! He challenges you. He want to fight with you.
He-Man: And I will not hide from him! Quick, you have to go! Destroy the machines! I will distract the creatures of hell.
Man-At-Arms: No, He-Man. They will kill you!
He-Man: We have no choice. There's Anti-He-Man! Move! Leave me and act! Help me by hurrying up!
Skeletor: Yes, He-Man is right. Come, Man-at-Arms, we have to move quickly!
Narrator: Skeletor, Beast Man, Trap-Jaw und Man-At-Arms hastened through the dark fog to destroy the world converter. Orko on the other hand stayed with He-Man as he faced his grim adversary from Anti-Eternia.
(the sound of the power sword being unsheathed)
He-Man: By the power of Grayskull, I have the power!
(once more the sound of the power sword being unsheathed)
Anti-He-Man: By the power of Hellskull, I have the power!
(the clashing of sword, battle sounds)
Orko: A fight of titans! He-Man! How can I help you?
He-Man: Stay away, Orko. This has to be my fight!
Orko: Yes, yes, He-Man! Fight! You are stronger than him.
He-Man: No, that's sadly not true. We are both of equal strength. Luck has to decide.
Anti-Orko: (laughs, bells jingle) Not luck - but the power of my spells! Oh, Orko of the wizards' land
Orko: Shut up you fake Orko! My spells are stronger than yours!
He-Man: Help if you can!
Orko: I will, He-Man! Oh, leave me alone, you Anti-Orko! Let go of me!
Anti-Orko: I will destroy you with a spell! Oh, Orko from the wizards' land
Orko: No, no, NO! Oh, Orko from the magic land
Orko / Anti-Orko: (together) come lend me your helping hand:
(rolling thunder)
He-Man: (breathing heavily) Orko, what's going on?
Orko: He-Man, we are alone. The Anti-He-Man is gone, and this fake Orko, too! The fog is gone as well. Everyone is gone.
He-Man: (breathing heavily) Yes, indeed. Anti-He-Man has dispappeared!
Orko: And Anti-Orko, too! Not a great loss. His magic wasn't even working.
He-Man: (laughing) Orko, don't you realize? Man-At-Arms and Skeletor have destroyed the machine.
He-Man: It's been rescue at the last second.
Orko: (giggles)
He-Man: Why are you laughing?
Orko: (giggling) I am laughing because (giggles) because
He-Man: Why, Orko?
Orko: (giggles) Because Skeletor has saved your life! The Overlord of Evil of all people has saved your life. (giggles)
He-Man: (laughs) That's true, Orko! If Skeletor hadn't destroyed that infernal machine, it would have been dangerous, very dangerous for me.
Orko: For us!
He-Man: Of course: For us, you mightiest of all magicians!
Orko: There's, Man-At-Arms. He's alone. (shouts) Hey, Man-At-Arms! Here we are, here!
He-Man: Man-At-Arms, where's Skeletor?
Man-At-Arms: He's fled, He-man?
Orko: Fled? He's afraid of us!
Ma-At-Arms: As he should be. I don't believe Skeletor will dare to do such a dangerous experiment again. The terror has gripped him to his marrow!
Orko (giggles): Terror has gripped the skeleton to his marrow! We could hear the rattling of the bones up to here!
He-Man (laughs) And probably he's feeling remorse that he fought with me and not against me.
Man-At-Arms: This victory is Skeletor's greatest defeat! Hopefully he won't forget it too soon!
Orko: And if he should forget it, we'll just fight with him together another time. From that terror he will never recover!
(Everyone laughs)

I've been making demolitionsquad comics for 10 years now and if you've been reading my comics you already know I'm more of
a joke and gag kind of guy than one to be telling witty political tales. There's many reasons for that but mainly I do it
because I think that more often than not the worst joke might give you more than giving you one with the "moral club" if
it is told from the perspective of two totally opposing parties.
And that basically won't change, but...
If you always wanted to buy one of my comics but never did, the time would be now. (Here as well: Sry, german only. This is just a translation of my german blogpost, for wich some of you asked, I'm afraid.)
I donate all the money that comes in via my comics being sold this month to a refugee hostel. Simply put, this money goes to
buying art supplys. So I'm buying pens, crayons, paper etc with this money and go to a refugee hostel to draw with the kids.
Maybe this doesn't help a person in need directly but it can help bring some normality for the kids that escaped their
dire circumstances.

Dear Editor: The following is a open letter to Albio Sires.
Dear Rep. Sires:
With all dues respect, I for one, and your constituents, would like to meet with you in a real "live" Town Hall meeting for a face-to-face communications session of questions and responses concerning the latest actions of the 112th Congress and what the 113th has in store for the next year. The country is in deep fiscal problems, and all we hear is fighting and fighting among the two parties in congress. We have a $16.5 Trillion debt, out of control spending, 7.8 percent unemployment with no light at the end of this serious fiscal default. The Congress continues to kick the can down the road by delaying and pushing back its fiscal responsibilities by continuing to raise the debt ceiling. Social Security and Medicare are in very serious dire straits.
The federal deficit spending is a problematic hindrance to the government and the economy as this deficit only shifts the burden to future generations because it must be paid for eventually, just like any other loan. As of today, every household in the United States owes about $140,000 of this debt. The country is borrowing roughly $6 billion every day, and $239 million every hour. Put another way, that's $4 million every minute.
History has shown that when government spending increases much faster than spending in the overall economy, the private sector and economy overall suffers. A consensus of economists all agree that there's lots of people that will lend to us so far as long as our debt doesn't get so large they become suspicious that we'll pay it back. But, If we don't correct this problem, interest will tend to dominate our whole spending — it'll be greater than defense or Social Security. We have history to guide us. When debt gets too high, people are skeptical about lending, then you run into a crisis like we've seen in Greece and many other countries. So it's dangerous when it gets too high, and we are moving close to that dangerous level every day."
And the issue of "Gun Control" must be addressed rationally and constitutionally without resorting to emotional responses that would deny Americans their 2nd Amendment rights. It's all about guns in the hands of bad people that kill people — but guns in the hands of good and responsible people do not kill people — and the data proves that all across the states.
The list goes on and on with issues of the deepest and most alarming concern to all Americans. I've written you a number of times both here and with email on your website but have not received one answer. Your silence speaks louder than words — my next course of action is the press because we have a representative in Congress who will not interact with his constituency. This is just the tip of the ice berg when it comes to problems facing our nation. Will you meet with your constituency to answer these questions?
Very Concerned,
John Amato

Today's News: Our Take - CBS Boss Teases HIMYM, Men Futures, Talks Jennifer Esposito
Fans of CBS' comedies How I Met Your Mother and Two and a Half Men can't rest easy quite yet, but could have good news soon.
"We will be happy to be reporting in a few days that things will be resolved," CBS chief Nina Tassler told reporters at the winter TV previews Saturday about the possibility of a Season 9 renewal for HIMYM. "We're confident and excited that things will work out. Almost everything is complete."
CBS sets summer return dates for Big Brother, Unforgettable and Stephen King's Under the Dome premiere
Similarly, she said that both the network and Warner Bros. are interested in an 11th season of Two and a Half Men. As for star Angus T. Jones' participation in the wake of his video rant against the sitcom, in which he called it "filth," Tassler said, "We'd like him to be part of it next year, and he would too. Warner Bros. said they would also. He made his public apology, and we've moved on." The network has "not yet" secured co-star Ashton Kutcher for another season.
CBS has every reason to sound confident about its future. Although it finished as the No. 2 network in the 18-to-49 demographic for 2012, it was only down one-tenth from the previous year. It still can boast to be the most-watched network with 17 of the top 30 shows on broadcast TV overall -- four out of the top five comedies and the top seven dramas. Not too shabby.
Check out more scoop on CBS from Tassler:
The Big Bang Theory: The sitcom recently drew 20 million viewers, has enjoyed series highs over the last two episodes and even beat out ABC's Modern Family in the 18-to-49 demographic. Tassler agreed that the sitcom's strong syndication has likely given it a bump on broadcast.
Check out the scoop on CBS' midseason shows
Golden Boy: Tassler says the midseason cop procedural is "a great fit" to lead in to Blue Bloods and that although it had been developed as a single-star vehicle, the chemistry between star Theo James and Chi McBride was so undeniable, the show has evolved into a two-hander.
Elementary: The Sherlock Holmes update is the most-watched new show, with 59 percent live viewing and a young median age of 36 viewing it online. Both Elementary and Vegas were vying for the top new show throughout the season, but CBS decided to go with Elementary to air after the Super Bowl for its "appeal to all viewers."
Stephen King's Under the Dome: CBS treated critics to a first look at the development of the series based on Stephen King's novel of the same name, in which an invisible dome inexplicably encapsulates a small town and cuts the residents off from the rest of the world. Writer Brian K. Vaughn says that the series will explore "the mundane ... colliding with the fantastic." The tagline reads: "No one gets in. No one gets out." The science-fiction story will be told in 13 episodes this summer beginning June 24, and Tassler promises that "there will be a key piece of information that the audiences will have by the end of the summer."
Person of Interest: Speaking of sci-fi-tinged series, Tassler noted that it was having a great year and is the fastest-growing sophomore show on network TV. To illustrate how the network makes decisions to renew a series based on story, not just numbers, Tassler detailed how CBS felt that Taraji P. Henson's character Carter was marginalized and left out of the loop last season. In response, the producers proposed that Carter learn about "the machine" by the end of the season. CBS thought it should be sooner, and so the conversations went back and forth until it was settled that she'll learn all by Episode 9 of this season. "It was a turning point," said Tassler. "It had the bones, and we knew it was going to be successful, but it needed creative adjustments."
From American Idol to The Following: All the news on Fox's midseason
Jennifer Esposito: Tassler denies that CBS is tough on its actors and points out that the network employs them for many years. In regards to Jennifer Esposito's controversial departure from Blue Bloods, Tassler said, "We're sorry to see her go. We tried to resolve it, but it didn't quite work out. We wish her the best."
Friend Me: There are no decisions yet about the future of Friend Me, a midseason comedy that was left in limbo after its creator Alan Kirschenbaum committed suicide last October. "As many of you know, it was a very painful situation toward the end of production," said Tassler. The tragedy slowed things down, but Tassler said CBS will look at it again after post-production to make a call.

FreeBSD Manual Pages
RTSOLD(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual RTSOLD(8) NAME rtsold, rtsol -- router solicitation daemon SYNOPSIS rtsold [-dDfFimu1] [-M script-name] [-O script-name] [-p pidfile] [-R script-name] interface ... rtsold [-dDfFimu1] [-M script-name] [-O script-name] [-p pidfile] [-R script-name] -a rtsol [-dDiu] [-M script-name] [-O script-name] [-R script-name] interface ... rtsol [-dDiu] [-M script-name] [-O script-name] [-R script-name] -a DESCRIPTION rtsold is the daemon program to send ICMPv6 Router Solicitation messages on the specified interfaces. If a node (re)attaches to a link, rtsold sends some Router Solicitations on the link destined to the link-local scope all-routers multicast address to discover new routers and to get non link-local addresses. rtsold should be used on IPv6 hosts (non-router nodes) only. If you invoke the program as rtsol, it will transmit probes from the specified interface, without becoming a daemon. In other words, rtsol behaves as "rtsold -f1 interfaces". Specifically, rtsold sends at most 3 Router Solicitations on an interface after one of the following events: o Just after invocation of rtsold daemon. o The interface is up after a temporary interface failure. rtsold de- tects such failures by periodically probing to see if the status of the interface is active or not. Note that some network cards and drivers do not allow the extraction of link state. In such cases, rtsold cannot detect the change of the interface status. o Every 60 seconds if the -m option is specified and the rtsold daemon cannot get the interface status. This feature does not conform to the IPv6 neighbor discovery specification, but is provided for mobile stations. The default interval for router advertisements, which is on the order of 10 minutes, is slightly long for mobile stations. This feature is provided for such stations so that they can find new routers as soon as possible when they attach to another link. Once rtsold has sent a Router Solicitation, and has received a valid Router Advertisement, it refrains from sending additional solicitations on that interface, until the next time one of the above events occurs. When sending a Router Solicitation on an interface, rtsold includes a Source Link-layer address option if the interface has a link-layer ad- dress. rtsold manages a per-interface parameter to detect if a separate protocol is needed for configuration parameters other than host's addresses. At the invocation time, the flag is FALSE, and becomes TRUE when the daemon receives a router advertisement with the OtherConfig flag being set. A script file can be specified to deal with the case (see below). When rtsold start resending router solicitation messages by one of the condi- tions events, the daemon resets the parameter because the event may indi- cate a change on the attached link. Upon receipt of signal SIGUSR1, rtsold will dump the current internal state into /var/run/rtsold.dump. The options are as follows: -a Autoprobe outgoing interfaces. rtsold will try to find any non- loopback, IPv6-capable interfaces and send router solicitation messages on all of them. -d Enable debugging. -D Enable more debugging including the printing of internal timer information. -f Prevent rtsold from becoming a daemon (foreground mode). Warning messages are generated to standard error instead of syslog(3). -F Explicitly configure the kernel to accept Router Advertisements and disable IPv6 forwarding. These settings are required for proper rtsold operation. Without this option, the current set- tings will be obeyed; if they are incompatible with proper opera- tion, warning messages will be generated, but Router Solicita- tions will still be sent. The settings may be changed manually with sysctl(8) and ifconfig(8). -i Transmit Router Solicitation packets immediately, without waiting the normal random (between 0 and 1 second) delay. This option should not be used on networks where it might result in conges- tion due to many hosts simultaneously (re)connecting and sending such packets. -m Enable mobility support. If this option is specified, rtsold sends probing packets to default routers that have advertised Router Advertisements when the node (re)attaches to an interface. Moreover, if the option is specified, rtsold periodically sends Router Solicitation on an interface that does not support SIOCGIFMEDIA ioctl. -1 Perform only one probe. Transmit Router Solicitation packets un- til at least one valid Router Advertisement packet has arrived on each interface, then exit. -M script-name Specifies a supplement script file to handle the Managed Configu- ration flag of the router advertisement. When the flag changes from FALSE to TRUE, rtsold will invoke script-name with a first argument of the receiving interface name and a second argument of the sending router address, expecting the script will then start a protocol for the managed configuration. script-name must be the absolute path from root to the script file, be a regular file, and be created by the same owner who runs rtsold. -O script-name Specifies a supplement script file to handle the Other Configura- tion flag of the router advertisement. When the flag changes from FALSE to TRUE, rtsold will invoke script-name with a first argument of the receiving interface name and a second argument of the sending router address, expecting the script will then start a protocol for the other configuration. The script will not be run if the Managed Configuration flag in the router advertisement is also TRUE. script-name must be the absolute path from root to the script file, be a regular file, and be created by the same owner who runs rtsold. -p pidfile Writes the process ID of rtsold to pidfile instead of the default PID file /var/run/rtsold.pid. -R script-name Specifies a script to run when router advertisement options RDNSS (Recursive DNS Server) or DNSSL (DNS Search List) are encoun- tered. The information of DNS servers and DNS search domains will be sent to standard input of this script. The resolvconf(8) script is used by default. -u Specifies whether to add the source address of Router Advertise- ment messages to the interface name in the parameters of the RDNSS and DNSSL scripts. If -u is specified, the interface name in the script parameters will be `ifname:slaac:[RA-source-address]'. Otherwise it will be `ifname:slaac'. FILES /var/run/rtsold.pid The PID of the currently running rtsold. /var/run/rtsold.dump Internal state dump file. EXIT STATUS The rtsold utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. SEE ALSO resolvconf(8), rtadvd(8), sysctl(8) HISTORY The rtsold command is based on the rtsol command, which first appeared in WIDE/KAME IPv6 protocol stack kit. rtsol is now integrated into rtsold(8). BUGS In some operating systems, when a PCMCIA network card is removed and reinserted, the corresponding interface index is changed. However, rtsold assumes such changes will not occur, and always uses the index that it got at invocation. As a result, rtsold may not work if you rein- sert a network card. In such a case, rtsold should be killed and restarted. The IPv6 autoconfiguration specification assumes a single-interface host. You may see kernel error messages if you try to autoconfigure a host with multiple interfaces. Also, it seems contradictory for rtsold to accept multiple interface arguments.

General Motors unveils 2014 Chevy, GMC pickups
DETROIT - General Motors is giving its big pickups a much-needed makeover. The company unveiled new versions of its top-selling Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra this month, aiming to get them to showrooms by late spring or early summer.
The timing is good. Truck sales are growing after a five-year slump, and the new pickups replace models that were last revamped in 2007. That means GM dealers are offering pickups that are dated compared with newer Fords and Rams - and it is hurting sales.
GM says the 2014 trucks should put Chevy and GMC ahead of the competition in styling and performance. The trucks look a little more aggressive and aerodynamic. They will have quieter cabs and updated steering, suspensions and brakes, GM says.
Gas mileage and pricing were not released, but GM North American President Mark Reuss says customers will be surprised by the prices. A 2013 base model Silverado costs about $24,600.
Reuss says the new pickups are 200 pounds lighter than Ford and Chrysler competitors. That will boost gas mileage, though GM won't say by how much.
The trucks should close the gap with Ford's perenially top-selling F-150 and Chrysler's revamped Ram, especially if the engines are more powerful and efficient, says Jeff Schuster, the senior vice president of forecasting for LMC Automotive, a Detroit-area firm that tracks auto sales trends.
He was impressed by GM's attention to detail. For example, there's a step built into the rear bumper to gain access to the bed, and the doors fit into recesses in the body to make the trucks quieter.
GM offers three revamped engines: a 262-horsepower, 4.3-liter V-6 that GM says can tow a substantial trailer; a 325-horsepower, 5.3-liter V-8 that will get better mileage than the 22 mpg the current model gets on highways; and a 6.2-liter V-8 with 376 horsepower.
GM, which has been building Chevy trucks for 95 years, says the new models should hit the market at a good time.
Pickups are starting to sell again. The housing industry, which has a direct relationship to pickup sales, is strengthening and should be in even better shape when the weather improves this spring. Finally, the average age of a pickup in the U.S. is 10.4 years, GM says. More people will need to replace their aging vehicles.
GM needs to jump on those trends. It is having a tough time selling its current trucks against Ford's F-150 and Chrysler's Ram.
The Silverado is the second-best selling vehicle in America at almost 367,000 through November, but its sales are flat with last year. Sales of Ford's F-Series, the nation's top-selling vehicle, are up almost 12 percent at 577,000.
Full-size GM pickup sales fell 8 percent last month while competitors saw increases. At the end of November, GM had enough trucks on dealer lots to supply them for 139 days of sales. A 60-day supply is considered optimal.
Reuss says GM raised incentives to match competitors, and sales in early December are strong.
The company didn't offer big deals last month, and it hurt.
Reuss says GM intends to outsell Ford's F-Series, but he wouldn't put a time frame on reaching the goal.
About one in every 10 GM trucks sold this year came with a V-6 engine, and the rest had bigger V-8s. Reuss says he doesn't expect that to change much even though about 50 percent of Ford F-150s have the smaller engines to get better mileage.
GM plans to introduce new big SUVs and midsize pickups in 2014, Reuss says. Also, the Silverado and Sierra will be updated more frequently.
The GMC and Chevy trucks, which are essentially the same vehicles, will get six-speed automatic transmissions on all models, which should improve mileage. Some models now have older four-speed transmissions that aren't as efficient. The Sierra is aimed at more upscale buyers who want luxury and practicality.
All three new engines have efficient direct fuel injection, and GM says they can switch seamlessly to run on only four cylinders to use less gas. The engines will have more torque and horsepower than the older models.

Sen. Menendez says he reimbursed donor for 2 jaunts
Sen. Robert Menendez's office says he reimbursed a prominent Florida political donor $58,500 on Jan. 4 of this year for the full cost of two of three trips Menendez took on the donor's plane to the Dominican Republic in 2010.
More details about the New Jersey senator's trips emerged as his office said unsubstantiated allegations that the senator engaged in sex with prostitutes in the Dominican Republic are false.
There had been no public disclosure of the two trips until now.
"The senator paid for the two trips out of his personal account and no reporting requirements apply," Menendez spokeswoman Tricia Enright said Wednesday night.
The FBI searched the West Palm Beach, Fla., office of the donor — eye doctor Salomon Melgen — on Tuesday night and early Wednesday, but it was unclear if the raid was related to Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat.
A third trip by Menendez aboard Melgen's plane — a campaign fundraising journey to the donor's residence in the Dominican Republic — took place in May 2010. That trip was reported to the Federal Election Commission as a $5,400 expenditure by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which Menendez chaired. The trip, for fundraising from the community of Americans in the region, took Menendez to Puerto Rico as well as the Dominican Republic, said Menendez's office. The $5,400 was paid to one of Melgen's companies, Vitreo Retinal Consultants.
Menendez categorized the other two trips as personal. The first was Aug. 6-9, 2010, a round trip from South Florida to the Dominican Republic. The second was Sept. 3-6, 2010, from New Jersey to the Dominican Republic and back.
Menendez could have invoked what is known as a "friendship exemption" regarding the two personal trips, which would have required the senator to report the travel to the Senate Ethics Committee as a gift. Instead, Menendez chose to reimburse the full cost of the two trips.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., turned aside questions about Menendez at a news conference Thursday, saying they should be directed to the New Jersey Democrat instead. On Tuesday — before the disclosures about the FBI raid and the trips — he had expressed skepticism about the allegations, telling reporters to consider the source.
White House press secretary Jay Carney declined to answer when asked whether the president still has full faith and confidence in Menendez. "I don't have anything for you on that," Carney told reporters Thursday.
The Daily Caller, a conservative website, reported shortly before the November election that Menendez traveled on Melgen's private plane to the Dominican Republic to engage in sex with prostitutes. Some New Jersey Republicans filed a complaint with the Senate Ethics Committee last fall in the wake of the allegations by The Caller. In response, Menendez's staffers searched records for trips by the senator and found the two additional trips that hadn't been reimbursed.
On Tuesday, Menendez became chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, succeeding Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass.
At FBI headquarters in Washington, spokesman Jason Pack said the bureau "cannot comment on the existence or status of an investigation." Justice Department spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler also declined to comment.
Records filed in Palm Beach County show an Internal Revenue Service lien against Melgen of more than $11.1 million for unpaid taxes from 2006-09. Prior liens for taxes from 1998 to 2002 were subsequently withdrawn, records show.
Menendez's office said the accusations of engaging with prostitutes "are manufactured by a politically motivated right-wing blog and are false."
Menendez's office said Melgen has been a friend and political supporter of the senator for many years and said the three trips Menendez took have been "paid for and reported appropriately." Menendez's office later changed the statement's wording to specify that the trips had been "paid for or reported appropriately," correcting the misimpression that all three trips had been publicly disclosed.
The Daily Caller began publishing stories about Menendez and Melgen on Nov. 1, when it reported that two women from the Dominican Republic said Menendez paid them for sex earlier in 2012. Prostitution is legal in the Caribbean nation.
Melgen is involved in numerous businesses, all sharing the same address in West Palm Beach, according to records filed with the Department of State in Florida.
Late Tuesday and early Wednesday, FBI agents were seen inside the West Palm Beach building, walking its halls and standing beside shelves full of files.
Melgen is listed as having an ownership interest in DRM Med Assist, which Federal Aviation Administration records show is the owner of a CL-600 Challenger plane. Flight records for the aircraft were not immediately available.
Melgen, a registered Democrat, has made $193,350 in political contributions since 1998, including $14,200 to Menendez, according to Federal Election Commission records. Menendez was chairman of the Senate Democratic Campaign Committee, which raises money for Democratic Senate candidates, from 2009-11.
Menendez, a lawyer, is a former mayor of Union City, N.J., and also served in the New Jersey state General Assembly and the New Jersey state Senate. He is divorced and has two children.
Melgen, 58, is a native of the Dominican Republic, where he earned his medical degree from the Universidad Nacional Pedro Henrmquez Ureqa in 1978. He has lived in the U.S. since at least 1980, holding an internship, residency and fellowship at hospitals in Connecticut, Missouri and Massachusetts, according to records filed with the Florida Department of Health.
Melgen has been licensed to practice in Florida since 1986 and purchased the West Palm Beach plot of land where he built his main office in 1991. Over the years, Melgen has become regarded as a top ophthalmologist, speaking at conferences and even operating on then-Gov. Lawton Chiles in 1997. The governor later appointed Melgen to a state panel on HMOs.
Calls to Melgen's offices Wednesday were forwarded to an answering service where receptionists told callers to try back Thursday. Calls to Melgen's home in North Palm Beach, which is appraised at $2.1 million, went unanswered.
On the website for his medical practice, Melgen writes: "I am always asked what sets me apart from most other doctors, and I would have to say that I do not consider myself to be a 'cookbook' physician. My patients are my number one priority, and when I am looking to treat a diagnosis I try to look at all the data at hand and extrapolate the best treatment instead of solely adhering to what the current 'standard' of treatment may be."
Associated Press writers Matt Sedensky in West Palm Beach, Fla., Curt Anderson in Miami and Jack Gillum and Larry Margasak in Washington contributed to this report.

Antique Dutch Village
Just outside of the city of Hudson, Claverack retains an 18th century Main Street with manor homes built by founding families, but the countryside quickly becomes agrarian with an expanse of apple orchards and other farms.
The Legacy
Originally part of the Van Rensselaer tract granted in 1630, Claverack was settled by the Dutch and Palatine (German) descendants of the original tract founders and workers. This history is evident in the array of older homes on the main street of the village.
The Landscape
The quaint village streets give way to rolling apple orchards, and other farms that enjoy the fertile soils of Claverack. Bisected by the Claverack Creek, a class A trout stream, the landscape reveals spectacular Catskill Mountain views from many vantage points.
Why You'll Stay
The proximity to Hudson for culture, married to the beauty of the landscape and the spectacular Western views make this community a location that cannot be duplicated.

JERUSALEM – Israel on Wednesday said it had foiled an "advanced" al-Qaida plan to carry out a suicide bombing on the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv and bomb other targets, in what analysts said was the first time the global terror network's leadership has been directly involved in plotting an attack inside Israel.
The Shin Bet intelligence agency said it had arrested three Palestinians who allegedly plotted bombings, shootings, kidnappings and other attacks. It said the Palestinian men, two from Jerusalem and one from the West Bank, were recruited by an operative based in the Gaza Strip who worked for al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahri.
The State Department said the U.S. was not yet able to corroborate the Israeli claims.
While a number of groups inspired by al-Qaida have carried out attacks against Israel before, this appeared to mark the first time an attack was directly planned by al-Qaida leaders.
The Shin Bet said the Palestinians planned on attacking a Jerusalem conference center with firearms and then kill rescue workers with a truck bomb. Al-Qaida also planned to send foreign militants to attack the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv on the same day using explosives supplied by the Palestinians, it said.
It said five men whose identity and nationality were not disclosed were to fly into Israel with fake Russian passports to attack the American embassy. It was not clear where the men are located.
The Palestinian operatives had planned on several other attacks, it said. One included shooting out the tires of a bus and then gunning down passengers and ambulance workers.
The agency said it the plot was in "advanced planning stages" but gave no further information on how close the men got to carrying it out. It said the Palestinians from Jerusalem had used their Israeli resident cards to scope out and gather intelligence on targets. They were arrested in the past few weeks, it said.
A number of al-Qaida-inspired groups have carried out rocket attacks from Gaza and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, as well as shootings in the West Bank. Israeli intelligence calls these groups part of a "global jihad" movement.
Aviv Oreg, a former head of the Israeli military intelligence unit that tracks al-Qaida, said the plot marked the first time it has been directly linked to an attempted attack in Israel.
"This is the first time that Ayman al-Zawahri was directly involved," he said. "For them, it would have been a great achievement."
The Shin Bet said the three suspects made contact with al-Qaida over the Internet. It said they planned on traveling to Syria — where various jihadist groups are battling the forces of President Bashar Assad — for training.
Oreg said that many foreign fighters fighting the Assad regime are from Chechnya and predominantly Muslim parts of Russia and speculated that the militants with the phony documents would be from there.
Al-Zawahri's location is unknown, but he was last believed to be in Pakistan. He is the subject of an intense manhunt and is not believed to personally go online or pick up the phone to discuss terror plots, experts say.
Last year, a threat that began with a message from the Yemen-based al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula to al-Zawahri led to the closures of embassies across the Middle East and Africa, a U.S. official said at the time. The message essentially sought out al-Zawahri's blessing to launch attacks.
Al-Qaida-inspired groups are on the rise in the Gaza Strip, which is run by the Islamic militant Hamas.
These groups accuse Hamas of being too lenient because it has observed cease-fires with Israel and has stopped short of imposing Islamic religious law, or Shariah, in Gaza.
In the West Bank, Israel and the Palestinian Authority of Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas have cracked down on Islamic militants. Three Salafis, members of a movement that advocates a hard-line interpretation of Islamic law, were killed in a shootout with Israeli soldiers in the West Bank last November.
In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said U.S. investigators and intelligence officials were not yet able to corroborate the Israeli information and declined comment on specifics of the case.
"Obviously we're looking into it as well," Harf told reporters Wednesday. "I don't have reason to believe it's not true. I just don't have independent verification."
She said there were no plans to evacuate the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv and was not immediately aware of stepped-up security measures there in light of the arrests.

TNB: Derek Hersey's Magic Carpet
The tank top grew worn and faded while enduring numerous ropeless jaunts from Eldo to Yosemite. I like to picture Stevie's screen-printed image high on the Redgarden wall, moviIn 1985, the legendary British free soloist...
In 1985, the legendary British free soloist Derek Hersey witnessed Stevie Ray Vaughan pour his soul into a beat up Fender Stratocaster. Stevie was at the height of his powers, having just cut his second studio album, Couldn't Stand the Weather. Derek was pretty impressed, I assume, because on his way out, the thrifty Brit splurged and purchased an SRV-tour tank top. The tank top grew worn and faded while enduring numerous ropeless jaunts from Eldo to Yosemite. I like to picture Stevie's screen-printed image high on the Redgarden wall, moving farther and farther into open space. Sadly, Derek died a soloist's death and Stevie no longer got out to the crags. Instead, the tank top rested quietly in a chest of drawers. But with the constant shift of everything in our universe, eventually this would change …
I was scared, psyched, and extremely nervous while hiking
up to a gash of rock in Ouray, Colorado, known as The Alcove. I had been climbing for approximately two months, and I was marching up a steep talus
slope to accomplish my first "send" on lead. My prized project was a chossy stem-box known as The Groovetube, and at the grade of 5.8, I was
somewhat confidant I could manage a clean burn to the chains. I'd even sprayed about the "possible" send the night before in the smoky Ouray tavern
called the Silver Eagle (aka the Dirty Bird).
"Oh, I've already flashed it twice on toprope," I'd blurted out to my friend-turned-mentor Annie Whitehouse. Annie is a famous mountaineer, climber, and
all around badass who probably found our crew of beginner climbers to be at turns entertaining and annoying. I have no idea why she even hung out with
us. We would constantly pepper her with questions that eventually turned to one subject, Derek Hersey. Derek had been Annie's boyfriend, and we were
obsessed with Hersey lore. We had read about Derek in our bible also known as Climb!: A History of Colorado Climbing, and once we found out
about Annie's inside knowledge, we would never let her leave our presence without probing for the nitty gritty.
"What did Derek do for money? Did Derek only free solo? What did Derek eat? Did he smoke pot?"
The barrage of questions would only end once we were forced from the doors of the Dirty Bird at closing time. But Annie must have seen a spark of the climbing
spirit in us, because she continued to welcome our enthusiasm and fuel our climbing escapades with stories. It was with this spirit of encouragement
that Annie agreed to join us at the Alcove the next day and bear witness to my first redpoint attempt.
"I'm nervous," I wheezed. My friend, Justin, and I had trudged up the talus that ended at the base of The Groovetube, and now the sober reality
of sending and not just talking about it had set in. I took off my pack and dropped the tangled mess of my newly purchased rope on the ground. Practicing
a few trace eights, I looked up to see Annie bounding up the talus like a mountain goat.
"Are you gonna send?" Annie asked with a toothy grin as she reached us.
"Uh, yeah. I don't know. I'll try."
"Well, here's some good luck," she said dropping her pack on the rocks in front in front of us. She reached in and brought out what appeared to be a whitish-yellow
rag of some sort and tossed it to me.
I opened the wrinkled ball to see the black silhouette of a cowboy on the front of a tissue-thin tank top. The figure held the telltale shape of a Fender
Strat in his hands and the lettering above the cowboy's hat read, Stevie Ray Vaughan in faded gold print.
"Uh, what's this Annie?"
"Oh, that was Derek's," she said casually.
I caught Justin's eyes as I tried to comprehend what was happening. We stared at each other in disbelief. All I could muster was, "Holy shit!"
"He would want somebody to wear it," Annie mentioned while slipping on her harness.
I set the tank top down carefully, and began to ready myself for my first attempt at a real redpoint. But my thoughts were now somewhere else. I was thinking
about Derek and Annie, and the fact that climbing had become something I wanted to belong to so badly. I had moved from the Mississippi Delta—the
flattest part of the whole freaking country—about five months earlier, and had been searching ever since for a way to belong. In the south, I
was a musician, but in Colorado, I was someone who drank and smoked way too much and stayed inside on gorgeous sunny days nursing a hangover and playing
My close friend Justin, who I had grown up with, had moved to Colorado and started climbing, so after a very, very, long winter, he was kind enough to
start taking me along. And from the very first top-rope, I was hooked. Climbing was my way in.
I was wondering, embarrassed, if Annie had sensed my need to belong to climbing.
With these swirling thoughts and emotions, I fumbled through my first attempt at tying a figure eight, which Annie calmly corrected. Now tied in and ready,
I found it difficult to concentrate.
"Hold on," I said walking back to my pack.
I gazed down at Stevie's image, and thought about the previous journeys of this shirt. I thought about Derek, and his great adventures and the climbing
spirit he embodied. And then I thought about my own direction in life, and my constant questioning and searching. I figured there was only one way
to answer these questions. I pulled off my own sweat-soaked t-shirt and let the hole-ridden relic slip over my torso. Though I could never hope to
fill it in the same way Derek had, the fit was perfect.

Today's News: Our Take - Beyonce Tweets Support for Gay Marriage
With the Supreme Court listening to arguments this week about California's Proposition 8 and the federal Defense of Marriage Act, both of which ban same-sex marriage, celebrities including Beyonce are turning to social media to voice their support for gay marriage.

She's not the only famous face to weigh in on the issue. On Twitter, stars like Kate Walsh, Kristen Bell and Rosie O'Donnell changed their profile pictures to the Human Rights Campaign's official logo indicating support for same-sex marriage: a pink equal sign on a red background.
The Court is expected to rule on the issue of same-sex marriage in June.
